Presidio Property Trust, Inc. Announces Earnings for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2024

SQFT, SQFTW

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQFT)(NASDAQ:SQFTP)(NASDAQ:SQFTW) (the "Company"), an internally managed, diversified real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today reported earnings for its quarter ended March 31, 2024.

"During the first quarter of 2024, we have signed leasing transactions totaling 24,476 sf, including new leases and renewals. We believe 2024 is off to a good start. With currently scheduled lease expirations during 2024 at a level nearly one-half of that during 2023, there is good reason to anticipate that our rent roll will be more stable through the end of the year, even considering this period of uncertainty in the commercial real estate markets, " said Gary Katz, the Company's Chief Investment Officer

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024, Financial Results

Net loss attributable to the Company's common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately $5.8 million, or ($0.47) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.5 million, or $(0.13) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in net income attributable to the Company's common stockholders was a result of:

Total revenues were approximately $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately $4.1 million for the same period in 2023. As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $135.3 million in net real estate assets including 88 model homes, compared to approximately $133.9 million in net real estate assets including 98 model homes at March 31, 2023. The average number of model homes held during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 99 and 95, respectively. The change in revenue is directly related to the average real estate assets held during the period, new commercial real estate leases, and model home transaction fees earned by the Company during the current period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $0.1 million related to four model homes, three of which already had an impairment as of December 31, 2023. The new impairment charges for the four model homes reflects the estimated sales prices for these specific model homes in April and May 2024. These homes had an abnormally short hold period, less than two years, where the builder changed their product style in the neighborhoods where our model homes are located, in Texas, after we had purchased the homes. We do not believe these losses are indicative of our overall model home portfolio.

Model home transactions fees were up $95k in Q1 2024 as compared to Q1 2023 related to the number of model home sales during the first quarter of 2024. There were 27 model home sales in 2024, compared to three during the first quarter in 2023. In connection with those sales, we recorded a gain of $2.0 million and $0.4 million during Q1 2024 and Q1 2023, respectively.

Our investments in the common stock and warrants of Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc. presented in the consolidated balance sheets were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices, taking into account the adoption of ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, and totaled approximately $14.5 million and $18.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, with a cost basis of approximately $7.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the fair value remeasure resulted in a loss on marketable securities totaling approximately $3.9 million. As of March 31, 2024, our investments in in these securities presented in the consolidated balance sheets were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices, which closed at $3.59 per share and $0.06 per warrant.

FFO (non-GAAP) decreased by approximately $0.7 million to approximately $(971,367) from $(228,914) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A reconciliation of FFO to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is attached to this press release. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization as well as the changes in the value of the Company's properties that result from use or market conditions, each of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company's performance is limited.

We believe Core FFO (non-GAAP) provides a useful metric in comparing operations between reporting periods and in assessing the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance. Core FFO decreased by about $0.4 million, from approximately $31,932 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, to approximately $(429,445) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. A reconciliation of Core FFO to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is attached to this press release.

Acquisitions and Dispositions for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

  • The Company acquired five model homes for approximately $2.2 million. The purchase price was paid through cash payments of approximately $0.6 million and mortgage notes of approximately $1.6 million.
  • The Company sold 27 model homes for approximately $14.0 million and recognized a gain of approximately $2.0 million.

Dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024:

About Presidio Property Trust

Presidio is an internally managed, diversified REIT with holdings in model home properties which are triple-net leased to homebuilders, office, industrial, and retail properties. Presidio's model homes are leased to homebuilders located in Arizona, Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Our office, industrial and retail properties are located primarily in Colorado, with properties also located in Maryland, North Dakota, Texas, and Southern California. While geographical clustering of real estate enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale by servicing several properties with less staff, it makes us susceptible to changing market conditions in these discrete geographic areas, including those that have developed as a result of COVID-19. Presidio owns approximately 6.5% of the outstanding common stock of Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc., a disease agnostic multi-asset clinical-stage disease-agnostic life science company providing an efficient model for compound development.

Definitions

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations ("FFO") - The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, hedge ineffectiveness, acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized and lease acquisition costs that are not capitalized plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization as well as the changes in the value of the Company's properties that result from use or market conditions, each of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company's performance is limited. In addition, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company's performance.

Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") - We calculate Core FFO by using FFO as defined by NAREIT and adjusting for certain other non-core items. We exclude from our Core FFO calculation acquisition costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, changes in the fair value of the earn-out, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash warrant dividends and the amortization of stock-based compensation.

We believe Core FFO provides a useful metric in comparing operations between reporting periods and in assessing the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance. Other equity REITs may calculate Core FFO differently or not at all, and, accordingly, the Company's Core FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Core FFO.
